There is a fantastic, large communal swimming pool so you can enjoy lazy days relaxing and sunbathing, or the children can have fun in the pool. A key is provided for the pool area as it is a residents only pool (not open to golf members). There is also a small playground for younger children.

When you are ready to get out and explore Valencia, there is so much to see in this amazing city. A 'must' is to visit the futuristic City of Science and Arts (which includes the amazing Oceangraphic aquarium), Bioparc Zoo & Jardin del Turia.

Valencia is steeped in history as the cathedral is said to be the home of the Holy Grail. Don't forget to climb the tower for stunning views over the city. Then take time to discover the Barrio Carman (old quarter) with its old cobbled streets & plazas. There are many interesting monuments, museums & parks to explore as well as lots of art galleries.

Other places of interest are the La Lonja de la Seda (the former silk exchange), the Bull ring & Mercardo (the traditional, large indoor market).

Plus there is also the modern marina built to host the America's Cup & old port to explore. Football fans should visit Mestalla (the home of the Valencia football team).

Just off the A7 motorway (near the airport) is the Bonaire shopping mall with lots of outlets stores and shops such as Mango, Zara, Primark plus many more, an Al Campo hypermarket, lots of restaurants and fast food outlets to choose from plus a cinema and bowling.

Closer to the coast is the Albufera freshwater lagoon & the stunning long sandy beaches of El Saler. Try the paella at El Palmer (home of Valencian paella). Other nice beaches are Cullera and Sagunto.

This is an important agricultural area of Spain, therefore all kinds of fresh produce is grown locally. You will see the fruit trees and grapevines is the surrounding fields and valleys. You can even take a winery tour in the nearby town of Requena.

Take time to visit the warm water canyon at Montanejos, admire the Navajas waterfalls, sail through the beautiful Coves of Saint Joseph or discover the historical towns of Xativa & Sagunto.

Experience local Spanish culture & stay at the villa during a fiesta such as Las Fallas (15-19 March) & La Tomatina .. the tomato throwing festival in nearby Bunol (last Wednesday in August).

Plus there is a supermarket within a 5 minutes drive for all your holiday provisions.

We’re not long back from our holiday to Valencia. This apartment was perfect for our family trip; it’s well equipped with everything we needed for our stay. The pool was brilliant and just a short walk from the apartment. It was very hot when we were there and the air conditioning made our time in the apartment very comfortable. A lovely week in a beautiful area!!

Well equiped apartment in nice position. It was very cold in February and took a while to heat up but there were plenty of heaters.

A little misleading to claim internet as one of the facilities as there is no internet in the apartment you have to go to the golf clubhouse.

Other than that very happy with the rental.

Thank you for the review. I am glad you were warm enough. We had some trouble with the air conditioning which is also the heating and are now in the process of putting a whole new system in.

Great for golf, car hire necessary

Lovely location, clean apartment. Some of the kitchen items could do with being replaced but this didn't affect our stay. Description is a little misleading, mobile air conditioning units are only fans, which didn't help to cool the apartment down sufficiently. This we struggled with during our stay. The balcony has nice views during the morning and early afternoon across the course of the 9th, 1st and 18th fairways, it was too hot to sit out in the afternoon until sunset.

We had to store the travel cot, suitcases and heaters next to one of the beds we weren't using as they were stored in the wardrobes when we arrived, this could be a problem if all beds are to be used.

Lovely large pool a short walk from the apartment, never a problem with sunbeds as this is for residents only with key access on the entrance. Unfortunately ball games/lilos are not permitted but the very friendly lifeguards are lenient with a small tennis ball sized ball for playing catch with when certain residents aren't about or during siesta, 3-5pm, when the lifeguards are off duty.

Beautiful golf course with two tiered driving range and two practice putting greens. The course is constantly being worked on and has great potential as a new green keeper has recently been employed.

Unfortunately the clubhouse restaurant is apparently now only for corporate events but food is available at the cafe/bar with very friendly staff, open until 9pm in the summer.

Valencia is a beautiful city and definitely worth exploring, it's easy to get to and plenty of parking available.

We weren't so lucky with the nearby beach, only making one visit after seeing raw sewage in the sea!

We had a wonderful time here. Great location with super Market and Petrol station close by.

The pool was still closed when we were there which was a shame but we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Flat is well equipped for self catering and place is clean. You'll definitely need a car and Valencia centre is a approx 25-30 minute drive away. Thanks to the hosts. Everything was clear and straightforward. Lots of space and amazing balcony views. Highly recommended.

Location

Chiva, Valencia, Spain

This apartment is situated a short 10 mins drive off exit 337 of A3 Valencia-Madrid motorway & is located on a quiet street within the golf development/ community. As well as the on-site clubhouse, there is also another restaurant (Asador) within 5 mins drive towards the motorway.

The 'Consum' supermarket is also only 5 mins drive away for all your provisions. This is a really well stocked supermarket where you can get all your holiday provisions for self-catering. There is also a bar/ cafeteria (Cafe Nelsey) and small play park next to the supermarket as well as an ATM cash machine and pharmacy. Drive a little further along this road and you'll reach the Asador restaurant.

Godelleta village is 10 minutes away with some small shops, cafes, playground, bank & chemist. The larger town of Chiva is 20 minutes away with more restaurants, shops, internet cafes & the train into Valencia. You can buy cheap, local wine from the nearby co-operatives & enjoy it with an al-fresco meal on the balcony overlooking the golf course.

Therefore this apartment is in a great location for those wanting to explore Valencia but don't want to stay in the hustle & bustle of the city, & for people visiting events at the Ricardo Tormo GP Moto circuit (Cheste) and other golf courses in Valencia. You can be sunbathing on the stunning, sandy beaches of Malvarossa, Cabenyal-Arena & El Saler in just over 30 minutes drive from the apartment.

Golfers: PLEASE ASK US ABOUT OUR SPECIAL DISCOUNTED GREEN FEES AT EL BOSQUE.

Plus there are another 7 golf courses in the region so you can play on El Bosque and use this as your base and visit one of these other courses during your stay:

Escorpian - just 20km north of Valencia at Betera. It has three separate nine-hole golf courses which can be played in different combinations to make up 18 holes.

Mediterraneo Golf - to the north of Valenica, is another 'hidden gem'. With 18 holes & par 72, it is 6823 metres long & has received the European P.G.A award. The 1st 9 holes are relatively flat & the last 9 are undulating so provide some great variety.

Forressos - a new 18 hole par 72, 6364 metre course just 30 kms away.

El Saler - just 20 km south of Valencia & situated close to the sea in the Albufera National Park, this course was voted the 2nd best golf course in Europe by Golf World. This 18-hole, 72 par course has held a number of Spanish Opens and is ranked No.29 in the world.

Oliva Nova - situated close to the resort town of Oliva, near Denia, this course has top class golf facilities & was voted the best of all Seve Ballesteros' designed courses. With 18-hole, 6270 metres, par 72, it has hosted the Peugeot Oki Spanish National Championship on 4 occasions.

Gandia Colf Course - this 6 hole golf course is perfect to play as a warm up on the way to Oliva Nova or why not combine a round whilst having a day out exploring the local area?

Manises Golf Club - just 8 km west of Valencia, this is a 9 hole golf course so combine a round with a visit into Valencia city.
